I couldn’t think of a less blah name than “Fishies” but lucky for you, this kit isn’t at all blah! I’ve been craving the water lately (even my mini-vacay to Florida hasn’t quenched the longing 🌊), so this week’s freebie planner sticker kit makes me happy.

I hope it makes you happy too! I adoooore the colorful fish and iridescent bubbles (don’t they look like pearls?) featured in this kit.

I did the thin washi strips a little differently this time (they’re the same pattern instead of being two different ones) because I’ve been getting a lot of requests for it. I really appreciate feedback from you guys because not everyone plans the same way and I want to make my freebies as universally usable as possible. 😊 So please continue to tag me in your posts! 🖐️ @PaperHoard

Hi friends! This week’s freebie kit is a little different from the ones I’ve been making. Instead of illustrations I went with photorealistic textures in soft blues and gold. I really like how it turned out and hopefully you do too!

I normally write a little blurby thing here but my brain is completely pooped. I got back from New York on Wednesday & currently headed to Atlanta so I am beyond jetlagged. Soooo without further ado:

I’m in New York for a quick work trip but I wanted to remind you about my planner giveaway! 🎁 There are a total of SIX winners with one grand prize winner, and multiple chances to win, so enter before it’s too late! The giveaway ends on the 31st.

This week’s free planner sticker set is my favorite to date. I’m a happy camper any time there’s glitter involved and this weekly kit has it by the ton. How adorable are the little hot air balloons, btw? I liked them so much I decided to use them as blank date markers and sprinkled throughout the kit.

I recently wrote a guest blog post for Diarying.com, an adorable stationary store that sells affordable planning supplies and cute stationery with FREE(!) global shipping on every order (use my coupon code PAPERHOARD15 to save 15%). It’s the tale of how I was the worst bullet journaler in the history of bullet journals, if you wanted to read all about my fails.

Writing about my history with planning got me thinking about the idea of planner peace. It’s an elusive concept that many of us in the planner community chase after, and while some claim to have it I think it’s quite telling that the same bloggers who write about “finally reaching Planner Peace” end up writing another post about “finally reaching Planner Peace” a year later.

What the Hell is Planner Peace?

For the uninitiated, the idea of planner peace is simply this: the vague idea that a specific planner setup will bring total harmony and balance in your life. Having the perfect planning system will make you eat better, work better, laugh better… Basically, it’s like achieving nirvana via a planner.

It’s an attractive promise and a compelling one because it’s seemingly feasible. I’m a strong believer in the life-changing magic of keeping a planner and I’m sure many people who start planning quickly realize the benefits of having one. Once the gears are in motion it’s not too far of a stretch to start believing that a planner can perfect, not simply change, one’s life.

Planner Peace is a Lie.

Maybe there really are people who have achieved planner peace. There are certainly many (many, many) better people than myself. But I just don’t buy it. Mainly because I don’t think that temporary planner compatibility = Planner Peace.

Often the excuse for “losing” planner peace is that circumstances have changed, but you shouldn’t have to toss your old system and buy five different planners because you’re going to a different school, switched career paths, or started a family. What’s the point of reaching planner peace if you’re forced to search for it time and time again?

So What IS the Point?

Life is dynamic, constantly in motion, and a planning system should adjust and grow with you. By disavowing the search for planner peace I’m not suggesting that no one should ever experiment with different planners or setups. I just think that it should be a rational search for a functional tool rather than some mythic quest for the Holy Grail of planners.

I make small adjustments to my planner all the time and in the past year I’ve been using three different planners to help manage my increasingly complicated life. I can’t lay claim (and I can’t ever see myself claiming in the future) to achieving planner peace but I get my work done and I never miss appointments. I don’t know about you but that’s good enough for me.

Hi friends! I reached 2k followers on Instagram a few days ago and wanted to host a little giveaway as a THANK YOU(!!!) for all of the love and support. I have a pretty stressful work life and the #plannercommunity is my happy place. I can’t imagine being without y’all, I’d probably be on my third heart attack by now 😂 (No but srsly 💕).

The giveaway IS open internationally and there will be a total of SIX winners, and one Grand Prize winner!

Hi friend! I hope you’re having a wonderful Friday. This week’s freebie should be credited to @justjuliplanning because it was created as a result of a short conversation we had over Instagram 💁🏻. We had both been using the “Steps” counter sticker that came in the Happy Planner fitness sticker book and ran out–quelle horreur! Of course the most logical thing to do was to make replacements.

I decided to replace the word “STEPS” with a runner’s shoe because I personally prefer to log miles. I also added some scales and fitness icons because why not?
